Default Before/After...Hows my Z28 look??
I picked up my '99 z28 a little over a year ago and it was 100% stock on the exterior. The car had only 19k miles so I debated whether or not to keep it stock. Ofcourse, I couldn't resist and started modding. I'm happy with how she looks now and I think I'm done as far as exterior mods go. What does everyone think of it?

Mods:
VHT LT1 tails
VHT 3rd brake light + bumper lights
Clear corners
Whistler mod headlights
Black billet grille
Chrome DD zr1s: 17x9.5 fronts + 17x11 rears

Looks good. Just get rid of those amber bulbs in the turn signals.

Looks awesome, I have the same wheels, grille, & headlights. If I were you I would have gone with black corners instead (I despise how the clear ones have that orange circle on them) but it still looks great overall

I don't really want to drop it. If I didn't have 315s out back maybe, but lowering it now would require an adj. panhard bar and rolling the fenders...don't really want to go down that road.

Ya when I bought them I wasn't aware the amber was so pronounced. I'll probably go with some vht eventually.

Some black ones have orange circles too. But you can get black ones and clear ones without the orange circles. Just gotta look.

I like the new look. Do the heater hose mod if you have some spare time

If you don't want to splurge on shocks and springs anytime soon it is definitely worth the time. It evens out the stance

maybe a cme?? and an ss spoiler definitely would finish off the looks for your car


oh and maybe if you do stainless steel inserts then shave the z28 off or get a stainless steel one..
